House Renovation - Conflicting Advice, Help please

I have had several combi's in different places and hopefully will never have to put up with one again!

Hmmm, not filling me with confidence then. The only consistent response I had from the three quotes was that there was no logical place to put either a vertical normal, vertical thin or horizontal unvented cylinder. If I really did want one I would have to alter the roof, which sounds a little bit extreme for what I want to achieve.

Think I will have to make do with a combi and hope that they develop significantly over the next few years, or hope that unvented cylinder options change to better suit my property.

What I might ask my plumbers to do is to stick some additional pipes up into the attic, but to leave them disconnected, so that I have the pipework available without having to rip out bathrooms and kitchens if things change.

can't pop up a couple of pictures of your attic space can you? i LOVE a challenge…if someone says X can't be done, I have to find a way :-0

Of course anything is possible given enough time and money. Unfortunately I have a shallow roof so to fit an upright tank I would need to widen the roof supports at the top. I could put in a horizontal tank from back to front of the house, but that is going to kill all of the walking space and make the attic painful to use for storage.
